Sweep AI

Sweep AI is the AI coding assistant purpose-built for JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, RubyMine, PhpStorm, Rider, CLion, and more), addressing a gap in the AI coding category where most tools are designed primarily for VS Code. Sweep has grown into the top-rated AI plugin in the JetBrains Marketplace with 4.7 stars and 67,000+ downloads, particularly popular among professional developers in Java, Kotlin, Python, and Ruby ecosystems where JetBrains IDEs dominate. Pricing is tiered across four plans. Free Trial provides 1,000 autocompletes and $5 in API credits to evaluate the product with no commitment. Basic at $10/month provides unlimited autocomplete plus a monthly API credit allocation for chat and code generation. Pro at $20/month targets power users needing more API credits and priority support. Ultra at $60/month provides the highest API credit allocation for maximum productivity. Credits are consumed by AI features including chat, code generation, and advanced completions; autocomplete is unlimited on all paid plans. Additional credits can be purchased as automatic top-ups. Sweep differentiates from JetBrains AI Assistant through its custom Tab autocomplete model optimized specifically for the JetBrains code intelligence layer, producing millisecond-latency suggestions that generic AI coding tools ported from VS Code cannot match within JetBrains. The platform indexes the entire project for context-aware suggestions, supports remote MCP servers with full OAuth 2.0/2.1 authentication (launched December 2025), web search and fetch tools, and AI code review for branch diffs. Sweep operates under SOC 2 compliance with zero data retention by default. Privacy Mode (user-configurable in account settings) ensures code is never used for model training. The platform uses Sweep's own LLMs rather than third-party inference, which the company cites as the basis for its price, performance, and privacy positioning. Sweep started as a JetBrains-first plugin and its JetBrains extension remains the most mature, though VS Code and Zed are now supported. Developers wanting deeper AI-native agent capabilities may also evaluate Cursor ($16/mo billed annually) or GitHub Copilot ($10/mo). Current state Q3 2026: Sweep remains the top-rated AI plugin in the JetBrains Marketplace at 4.7 stars across 76 ratings and 67,000+ downloads, and has expanded beyond JetBrains to VS Code and Zed. Recent releases added support for connecting to remote MCP servers with OAuth 2.0 and 2.1, AI code review for branch diffs, and web search and fetch tools. Sweep continues to differentiate on its custom next-edit autocomplete model and its privacy-first, SOC 2 Type II posture with optional Privacy Mode.
